What Is The Rotator Cuff?

Your rotator cuff helps stabilize the shoulder joint, and assists with movement of the arms. There are four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, and damage to any or all of these can be quite painful. At the very least, because the rotator cuff is used in almost any movement of the shoulder and arm, damage to it can make it difficult or impossible to perform even the most routine tasks.
